Method
Cocktail
Fill the chilled glass about three-quarters full with fresh ice cubes (roughly the 1 cup of ice).
Pour 2 oz dry gin over the ice.
Add 0.75 oz Elske tonic syrup directly into the glass. If you prefer a lighter tonic flavor, reduce to 0.5 oz; for stronger, increase to 1 oz.
Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to brighten the drink (about half a lime).
Top gently with 4 oz cold sparkling water. Pour slowly down a bar spoon if you want to preserve more carbonation.
Give the drink one gentle stir (2–3 revolutions) to integrate the syrup, gin, and lime with the tonic water without flattening the bubbles.
